History
The idea of DockingFrames was born in the year 2001. A first prototype
was written and functioned more or less. But then other projects seemed to
be more important, and DockingFrames was forgotten.
Then in 2005 a restart was launched, and this time the project was a success.
The project was secretly developt for one and a half year, until it was ready to
be presented.
